My first and only restoration

Great job:upyeah:

 

Looks really nice and it's a great bike :upyeah:

 

Nice, I remember thrashing the hell out of these bikes in the river beds in new zealand many moons ago. Also had a XR 350 and a IT 465 that was completely mental.

But apart from cam chains those old Honda thumpers are bulletproof :upyeah:

 

Very nice job, congratulations.

 

Hi
Fantastic job
IVe just brought a 1991 cbr 600 with the intention of a full nut and bolt rebuild ,this would be my first rebuild
Any advice

 

My first bike was an xl250s silver tank. SYL 239N that is about the only reg I remember out of all my bikes. I picked her up from a garage in Edgware and rode her through London to Putney having only been shown how to ride once. I don't think I got out of second. Great bike I had her for three years and despatch rode on her for 2. Great restoration btw

 

I'd love to do a full restoration on something, trouble is I don't have the patience for it. If I can't bolt it on there and then, I chuck my teddy out and stamp my feet and thkweem and thkweeem and thkweeem
Nice job on the XL

 

Thanks mega great advice
I have started to srip the bike down but the bike is only running on 2 cylinders so gotta sort that out before
I go any further I suspect the carbs need cleaning as the bike has been standing since 2012

 

Hi Megga, you did a beautiful job on that bike, well done.
